I want him out so badly, It makes me feel like clawing my eyes of my skull at the mere suggestion of him carrying on next season. It's felt like a lifetime since he should have been sacked back in december when its only been 4-5 months, another full season of this, wishing him to get the feck out from the first game through to the 38th is going to be tough to endure.

You're not alone bud, I have to try to not think about him now otherwise I get so pissed off, if he stays then I guess il not be watching many games at all, I can't enjoy a win these days because the smug bast@rd will claim it's because of his genius while throwing anyone but his captain under the bus for missing a pass.
Need to stop coming in here or just stick to the general because I can't take it at the minute
Really does seem like most people are just burying their heads. Every report that he's staying is laughed off, but there hasn't really been any indication of anything else.
Short of a fan revolt or minor miracle, he's our manager until he decides otherwise I reckon

The worst part is? this is probably Man City's worst PL finish since they were taken over in 2008, despite the manager leaving at the end of the season, the team losing complete focus on the top 4 because of the CL, even on City's worst days they are still ahead of us despite us taking 4 pts off them. But with VG seemingly settled and saying he is planning for next year, this alone should be all the evidence the board needs to fire him. If VG can't finish ahead of this current city team, how the hell are we even going to do any better? when all our rivals have imploded. This was the perfect season to win the PL, or even getting into the top 4

Think this is the case as well. Seems crazy to me. I could understand if we were in this position under a young manager and we decided to keep him but makes no sense to stick with a guy who only wants to do one more year anyway and has been average to disappointing at best so far.
Liverpool sacked their failing manager and are now in a European cup final.
Keeping Van Gaal will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in this clubs history.

Woodward should go as well for putting his so called friendship before the welfare of the football club.
I just switched off the TV at 2AM in the morning, because I was disgusted by how as shit squad under Liverpool, a joke under Brendan Rogers, has suddenly been made to look so good, and are en route to CL and a European trophy.
Sack this arrogant smug farce of a pretender we have for our manager. Please kick him out, ffs. Mourinho over him anyday.

And he'll probably get another year due to a slight bit of "good" form towards the tail end of the season. Honestly he's the luckiest bloke in football. Every time he gets seemingly one game from the sack he pulls out a good result and it somehow redeems him. Ed won't have the balls to sack him if he wins the FA Cup.
Probably 5 teams in the CL from England next season and we won't be one of them. How in the hell is this guy still in charge?
Seeing Pool in the final just cements how bloody competitive the league will be next season. Getting into top four will be a huge fight. If we stick with LVG, I can see a crisis in the first few months of the new season, unless VG miraculously changes his methods. We'll be panicking like crazy and unfortunately no one of substance will be there to bale us out like Klopp with Liverpool. Ed surely can't be so stupid as to stick with him?
It's just ridiculous how we have to be patient with LVG's 'process' when Ranieri can win the league in his first season and Klopp can lead Rodgers' team to a European final in less than a season.
It's because his process involves just stumbling into something that works. That takes time, especially when you're a stubborn idiot that makes decisions based on what might make you look good rather than what will actually work.
They are just making themselves look more stupid at every turn. As someone said I can see us having problem right from the start if he stays. I dread the standard of signing we will make. Our club is staggering towards a crisis and we will likely sign loads of kids, just when we actually need experience.
Does Woodward have an official Twitter account?
Don't know. Asking for trouble if he has. Bombard the United one.
Another idea for you, bombard Adidas twitter account.
Bombard all the sponsors twitter/facebook accounts.
It never helps when there are serious obsessions with having giggs manage us, if it is true I think these idiots will get their way like spoilt kids and have giggs manage us full time. You could say well there was nothing out there we may is well stuck with VG until the season ends, but? if VG is not sacked, I am afraid it will be a write off next season. Big players don't want to play for VG, his hostile approach when people don't listen to him, they would rather break their own legs than work for him. We are at that tipping point with these idiots, if VG stays on so they can go ahead with their master plan of having giggs take VG's place, it will take us a good few years to recover from this. Moyes already set us back I think a good few years, VG is just making the pain even worse, and a combination of Moyes, VG and giggs will seal our fate
They have Klopp. We have this joker in charge.
If I wasn't such a hard man I would cry.

He's rubbish. Simple as
I'm part of a local United fan group that are almost all looking to boycott games and buying merchandise if this cretin is still in charge next season.
I should be able to get a good 60-70 people to bombard the United Twitter page buts it will probably need 60-70 thousand to get them to bat an eyelid.
I'm just so angry right now. Watching Liverpool reach a European cup final has brought it home once again how incompetent the United board are.

Has Klopp demanded Neymar yet?
Amazing how the thread adds 20pages/day even on a day when there hardly has been any update regarding LVG, with same points being put forward daily
I think its fans trying to get the anger off their chests, so its just rants after rants spilling out frustration over the situation. Its like a psychology room letting the thoughts or frustrations out, if VG is annoying you for no reason post it on here lol
Ergh. So true. So depressing.
I don't do twitter and Facebook stuff, but honestly, I've read the few twitter things I can without having to get an account, and there are loads of angry United fans. Reckon if you give it a good push, you should be able to attract some support.
Ask Samuel Lockhurst of MEN, pretty sure he'd point you in the right direction
(just kidding re Lockhurst)Yeah it's a way for people to try and deal with the fear that he's going nowhere. The frustration that the smug prick isn't getting blasted from all angles for his failure and is in fact being praised for playing youth players when he had no intention of playing them, he was just forced to because his squad management was abysmal. Combined with the feeling of being utterly helpless and powerless to do anything about the situation. Ranting in here is the closest thing a lot of people get to feeling any sort of release of the frustrations.
There's also the fact that Sir Alex was in charge for so long that a lot of people either can't remember feeling this way before or have never actually had to live through having a shit manager. So it's like a group of people all trying to deal with it at once in here.
So there is this thread, but what is the sentiment among the folks at Old Trafford who visit every home game? Are they sharing the sentiment of this thread. Judging from what I see on television the people are quite mild there.
He was getting booed not so long ago but the OT crowd is usually much more forgiving than most other stadiums.
LVG pulled down his pants
The English press said he had no chance
A third season down the drain
Finishing seventh once again

£8m salary and United must pay £5m to sack him
Louis van Gaal will lose out on more than £1 million of his annual salary at Manchester United if his side fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The Times has learnt that more than half of Van Gaal’s £8 million annual package is based on a series of performance-related, loyalty and image rights clauses. The Dutchman will get a £400,000 bonus if United win the FA Cup and a £5 million payoff if he is sacked at the end of the season.
The Times can reveal details of Van Gaal’s contract for the first time, a week after he insisted that United pressurised him into signing a three rather than two-year deal, a claim that is contested by others at Old Trafford.
Of Van Gaal’s £8 million-a-year contract he signed in May 2014, only £3.3 million is guaranteed as basic pay. The rest of the package is made up of a £2 million loyalty payment, £1.6 million for image rights and £1.1 million for taking United into the Champions League. All those sums were paid last year after United finished fourth in Van Gaal’s first season at Old Trafford, but the Champions League payment is in jeopardy this season because his side are fifth in the Barclays Premier League, four points behind fourth-placed Manchester City but with a game in hand.
In addition to his salary Van Gaal can earn a series of payments based on the team’s performance, although only the FA Cup-winning bonus remains in play this season, with United meeting Crystal Palace at Wembley on May 21. There is no bonus for reaching the final.
A further indication of the dim view United will take of failing to qualify for the Champions League is found in the fact that winning the Europa League would earn Van Gaal £400,00, the same as winning the FA Cup, although there is a £200,000 bonus payment should he reach the final of the secondary European competition.
Van Gaal has already missed out on potential bonuses this season of £1.5 million for winning the Champions League, £1.5 million for winning the Premier League — finishing second in either competition would have earned him £750,000 — and £200,000 for winning the Capital One Cup.
The 64-year-old’s contract also stipulates a further £400,000 bonus for winning the Fifa Club World Cup and £200,000 for winning the Uefa Super Cup, although it is unlikely he will ever take United in to either competition.
The Times has also learnt the details of Van Gaal’s payoff should he be sacked at the end of the season, which remains the expectation despite his defiance last week when he insisted that he would see out the final year of his contract. The severance terms of that contract entitle him to 66 per cent of his existing salary unless he gets another job in football before June 2017, in which case the payments would cease. If he is sacked United will continue to pay Van Gaal two thirds of his salary — including the loyalty and image rights elements — on a monthly basis so it will cost them approximately £5 million to dismiss him.
The financial cost of sacking Van Gaal is not thought to be a factor as the club consider his future. While his success in bringing talented youngsters such as Marcus Rashford and Timothy Fosu-Mensah into the first team in recent months counts in his favour there remain concerns over Van Gaal’s style of football and a dictatorial approach that has alienated senior players, in addition to the probability of missing out on the Champions League for the second time in three years.
José Mourinho has made it clear he wants the United job, but the club will not be forced into making such an appointment. The Portuguese would demand wages of between £10 million and £12 million a year and it is unclear whether he would accept the salary structure agreed by Van Gaal.
Ronaldo, the former Brazil striker, had praise for Rashford. “He’s a very good player,” he told The Sun. “I see myself in him. He has an amazing future.”
£5m is chump change for us! Get rid of him!
Why wait
The truth hurts. There is one more detail though, after you stumble upon something that does work, then you start doing the opposite soon after, to show everyone that you NEVER make the obvious choice.
Reading this, I can only imagine what 20 years of Liverpool fandom from the early 90s must have felt like. If Liverpool reaching a Europa League final has set off this level of anxiety in us, 13 premier league titles and two champions leagues must have felt like slow torture.
